I'm a 20-something foodie with a passion for cooking and a huge desire to show that living a healthy lifestyle can actually be easy and fun! I love my dog, I love my life and I love that you stopped by my blog so that I can share all that and more with you! Cheers!

Whew! What a weekend it’s been – I’m finally moved in (if you couldn’t already tell by my hundreds of Instagram updates) and it has completely wiped me out! But it really has been such a fun process and I know this is only the beginning, painting begins next weekend! I’m throwing my first ever Oscar party in four weeks for all my girlfriends so I want to get as much done as I can. BUT, as I’m sure you all know, the Super Bowl is NEXT weekend so it’s time for some fun appetizers!

These chicken bites were so much fun to make and I was crazy impressed at how good they were! Warning: you may end up consuming the entire plate without realizing it. This is essentially buffalo chicken dip (lightened-up of course) rolled into a ball with crushed Corn Flakes and baked (NOT fried!) in the oven. Result? The perfect appetizer for game day that will please your girlfriends and surprise the boys!

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, hot sauce and cream cheese; mix well. Stir in cheddar cheese and green onions and set aside.

Using 3 separate bowls, set out the flour, eggs and crushed cereal. Scoop out chicken mixture and make 1 1/2-inch balls, first rolling in flour, then dipping in egg and last coating with cereal. Repeat this until you have about 30 balls.

You are so cute! I love your football picks. And I LOVE your new home. I’m having so much fun watching it come along on Instagram. So exciting! I’m going to feature this recipe in a game day roundup tomorrow Is it okay if I repost your image with credit?

I adore this recipe!! I’m already slated to make buffalo chicken dip (people have literally asked what time to get to the party to ensure they get some) and I think these would be the perfect compliment!

Perhaps I’m totally just nosy, but I love hearing/seeing about how your house is coming along, so please don’t stop posting about it! Decorating your new house it just too much fun to keep to yourself!

I just had to laugh at your comment about IKEA, because it is totally true. My husband gets so frustrated that he has had temper tantrums. Like a two year-old. I love seeing all of your house photos! Keep ‘em coming!

I love these! My wife made them one day as a surprise and I haven’t turned back since. But now that I have to make them myself I do it slightly different, I don’t use the egg and flower method of coating. I just take a lump of the chicken too and squeeze them in my hand with the corn flakes! No eggs at all!

Love the recipe and pictures of your’e new decor. Your’e not inviting any males to your’e party? I’m a friend and boy that likes your’e site. So would that make me a boyfriend that would love to hangout with ya’ll and you could teach me how to cook better? I am a pretty good handyman also. I live in Dunn, North Carolina and own my home. Enjoy your’e site.

I am making these for our little superbowl get together today. They look great. From someone who is working very hard to change their life by losing over 100 pounds I really appreciate all of the great tips you give here. I will definitely follow your blog. I’d love if you have any time, (i can see you are super busy though) for some tips on my little blog and journey. The link is included at the top. You’re blog is great! Thanks again for continued inspiration!

Kelly!
I just wanted to thank you for putting together such an awesome blog!!! My roommate and I have made 3 dishes so far and we’re onto the forth one tonight! We’re obsessed!!! Keep ‘em coming You’re doing a great job!!!!

Loved these chicken bites!
I made an Italian version too, with part skim ricotta instead of the cream cheese, marinara sauce instead of the hot sauce, and shredded parmesan instead of the cheddar. Also threw some wheatgerm, dried Italian herbs, and grated parm in with the flour. Yummy! Thanks for the idea
